Hva denne videoen dekker
Mads and Ava have relocated from Florida to Oriental, North Carolina, settling Spiffy — their 44-ft hurricane-damaged DIY catamaran — at Triton Yachts yard while living aboard Athena at Marinecraft.▶ 0:10 The move was driven by cooler temperatures, lower cost of living, and a connection with yard owner Blair and boat hauler Danny, first made at a chance meetup in Charleston three years earlier.▶ 0:16 Triton operates as both a DIY yard and a high-end repair facility; Blair's crew recently replaced fuel tanks and refinished the cabin sole on a Hinckley Picnic Boat and completed a transom repair and full paint job on a Tartan.▶ 5:52 The Tartan work also revealed a loose prop shaft strut — reportedly under-glassed or bolted to nothing from the factory — which was replaced with a new through-bolted strut with interior reinforcements.▶ 10:49 Spiffy needs covered workshop space beyond what the yard offers, so the couple plans to complete the refit elsewhere.▶ 6:08 Oriental itself gets a practical rundown: Rick's BBQ and The Silos (BOGO pizza Tuesdays) are local favorites; Piggly Wiggly offers a grocery shuttle service for cruisers.▶ 14:03 Big news is teased for roughly a week and a half out.▶ 0:20
